About 0XHB01Z

0XHB01Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the right elbow region using an open approach with radioactive element. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to implantation or insertion of radioactive elements, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.27).

For a different body part, codes include 0XH201Z (right shoulder region), 0XH301Z (left shoulder region), 0XH401Z (right axilla), 0XH501Z (left axilla), 0XH601Z (right upper extremity), 0XH701Z (left upper extremity) and 9 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0XHB31Z (percutaneous) and 0XHB41Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0XHB03Z (infusion device) and 0XHB0YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
